The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today that the team has signed forward Troy Bourke to a three-year, entry-level contract.

In addition to the Bourke signing, the Avalanche also announced that the organization has signed four other players to entry-level deals: forwards Dennis Everberg, Samuel Henley and Borna Rendulic, as well as goaltender Roman Will.
